3. Flavum.— Spec. Ruiz. Herb. Lamb. — Pyrol. aureum, 
fauce laevi. Bot. Reg. 20. 1724. Scape short ; 
flower 3 inches or less, pale golden ; tube smooth ; 
filaments much shorter than the style ; stigma 
deeply trifid. 
There is a specimen from Peru with the scape shorter 
than the flower, which is decidedly flavum ; two other spe- 
cimens of aureum are erroneously marked flavum. These 
three plants are very nearly allied, but as Ruiz distinctly 
describes the faucial scales of aureum and flammeum, the 
plant in which Dr. Lindley found none, must be the third 
species which Ruiz named, but did not describe. It also 
agrees with it and differs from aureum in the short scape, 
long style, and paler colour ; and disagrees with aureum in 
not having the circle of blind offsets, described by Ruiz, 
which I find in an imported bulb of Pyrolirion, which has 
not flowered. The figures in the Flor. Per. are quite un- 
worthy of faith, but the descriptions of Ruiz appear to me 
singularly correct. The three species are probably dis- 
tinct ; aureum with larger golden flower, style little exceed- 
ing the filaments, and faucial scales longer; flammeum with 
smaller flowers, fiery orange, and crenate scales ; and flam- 
meum with paler flowers, longer style, and short scape. 
The filaments of flavum in Mr. Lambert’s specimen are as 
nearly equal as possible.
